I have been a fully pledged, God fearing, Jesus loving, Spirit filled Christian for over thirty-five years, so why do I feel, at times, like a new babe in Christ? Shouldn’t I be all grown up in the Lord, feeding off the meat and potatoes from His banquet table, instead of drinking warm milk from my sippy cup?

Yes, I'm ashamed to admit it, but sometimes I am nothing more than a spiritual infant when it comes to the things of the Lord.

If I were to take a close look at my spiritual journey, I would see what a big baby I’ve been. The whining and crying I’ve done along the way does not speak well for my devotion and faith, and with all the crawling, toddling, and falling I’ve done – well there is just no excuse!

Since I can act like such a baby at times, I decided I needed my own Babysitters Check List, for my spiritual life.
